Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 6 pieces chicken thighs (boneless, skin on or off)
  • 3 pieces peaches (cored, quartered)
  • 1 piece peach (skin off, cored, diced)
  • ½ cup barbeque sauce
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon Can substitute with apple juice or fruit soda.

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon sugar To sweeten the diced peach mixture.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by preparing the chicken thighs. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Slice the peaches by halving, removing the pits, and cutting them into quarters.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the diced peach and sugar, allowing flavors to meld.
  • Add the barbecue sauce and bourbon to the peach mixture, stirring until well combined.
  • Season the chicken thighs with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Grilling

  • Preheat the grill to medium heat, oiling the grates if desired.
  • Place the seasoned chicken thighs directly on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on one side.
  • Flip the chicken thighs and brush half of the barbecue peach mixture over the grilled side.
  • Close the grill lid and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, checking for doneness.
  • Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with the reserved peach mixture drizzled on top or on the side.

Notes

For best results, ensure your grill is preheated, use fresh peaches, and let the chicken rest before cutting.
